Flat Earth

[Astargath]

A sextant measures angles on  plane and 1 minute = 1 mile; this can't be refuted.

Show me the projector of the sun!!

A sextant measures angles on a plane and 1 minute = 1 mile; this can't be refuted.

Space is made up of an infinite number of planes, all of which are either parallel to each other, or at an infinite number and variety of angles to each other. This is precisely why a sextant is not accurate for measuring distance and sizes of very distant objects in space.

Where is the distance limit on FE? Does FE go on forever in every direction? Even if there is a dome, why wold space not go on forever in every direction, right on through the water above and outside of the dome, just like FE might go on forever past the point where the dome touches down on the ice/land outside the ice limit that GE people call Antarctica?

Or do you think that the flat earth is a simple plane, made up of an infinite number of points that have a length/width relationship to each other, but no height relationship to each other?

You seem to be missing a lot in your primitive calculations.

The Sun's diameter is 32' (arc minutes/nautical miles) and this is a direct measurement with no calculations involved. Only when the question of distance (from viewer to Sun) comes into play is trigonometry involved and, the margin of error in either case is not millions of miles for God's sake.

My proof stands and can't be refuted.

How can you measure a projection? Impossible, the sun is nothing, it's just an image, you said that.

Exactly, make your mind up, is it a holographic projection? How can you measure a projection, since its just an image and nothing else?
And if it's not a holographic projection, then during the eclipse the moon would be glowing and hot.

Another factor is telescopes can concentrate the light into a tiny beam, and burn wood and stuff. So if its a hologram, explain that.

Well, of course you say this. Everything we see is seen in 2D. The reason we understand 3D is that we have two 2D cameras - eyes - and a brain that interprets the 3D reality.

The sextant, being a 2D measuring system, has to be used to make many 2D "pictures" that we combine to form a 3D view of reality. The sextant is not made to interpret 3D from the one-at-a-time 2D pictures that it makes. When used this way, even the sextant shows us that its measurements are not accurate beyond a certain distance. That distance is understood by the relationship of, say, the number of distant stars we can observe with a single, optic nerve unit. This is why we have telescopes.

But you can't make the rest of a sextant (even one that has a telescope) to be more accurate, without greatly expanding its size. Standard big telescopes, mounted in domes so that they can be protected at the same time they are being adjusted, essentially act like giant sextants. They prove that the sky and sun are far bigger and farther away than the limited, hand-held sextant suggests. The difference is that the big telescopes simply aren't called sextants any longer... often because they have many additional items incorporated into them that sextants don't have.

My proof is empirical and it stands.

My proof is empirical and it stands.

Proof from telescope observatories is thousands of times more sensitive and accurate than sextant observations. Standard proof is empirical, and it stands. The earth is a globe, but certainly not flat.

[elenadivats@yandex.ru]

Actually I'm really in love with the theory of the flat Earth. Our adherents are all around the Earth globe. I truthly believe that the next Nobel reward in physics will be extradited for the research in the sphere of flat Earth evidence.
  hope you'll join our cult

What proof? Show me an angular size measurement of the Sun made with a telescope that disproves the sextant's measured value of 32 arcminuets. I'm sick of you're bullshit you pathetic liar.

My proof is empirical and it stands.

Who know a 2500 year old map of the world existed With Atlantis and Australis Ocean?
I thought Australia was discovered in 1606 by Dutch explorer Captain Willem Janszoo who then claimed it for Great Britain in 1788.
Or is this bogus history a Dutchman claiming a continent for another country.



Globots, which one is your personal choice?


I have done my homework and know both are bogus

You are so silly. Have you forgotten that we are talking about size and distance?

Tsk, tsk. Everybody know that we all make mistakes now and again. So, we are all are essentially liars a little. But the intentional liar is the one who is warped.

Since people have been showing you a lot of the proof that the earth is not flat, are you a liar by innocent mistake, or by intent?

The entire planet refutes it.  Sextants can't be used to measure distance.

Fact: One arcminute is equal to one nautical mile.

If by "the entire planet" you mean everybody except the Jews that edit wikipedia, then okay. Observe their entry, it says the Nautical Mile is defined as one minute, a mile by very definition is a minuet of angular size.



SI units are for psy ops.

No, I mean every educated person in the world knows a sextant cannot be used to measure distance.

"A sextant is a doubly reflecting navigation instrument that measures the angular distance between two visible objects." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sextant

"Minutes (′) and seconds (″) of arc are also used in cartography and navigation. At sea level one minute of arc along the equator or a meridian (indeed, any great circle) equals exactly one geographical mile along the Earth's equator or approximately one nautical mile (1852 meters, or ≈1.15078 statute miles).[9]" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc#Cartography

"A nautical mile is a unit of measurement defined as exactly 1,852 metres (6,076.1 ft; 1.1508 mi). Historically, it was defined as one minute of latitude, which is one sixtieth of a degree of latitude. Today, it is a non-SI unit[1] which has a continued use in both air and marine navigation,[2] and for the definition of territorial waters.[3]" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_mile

Wait, so I haven't been following too much lately, you are using a sextant to measure the angular distance of the sun, which is around 0.5 or 30 arcmin. So what?

[Vod]

A sextant[/glow] is a doubly reflecting navigation instrument that measures the angular distance between two visible objects.

Yes, we all know a sextant measures angles.

It cannot measure distance to a celestial object.

I sure have to repeat facts a lot to you, don't I?

After all this time, I still can't believe this is being debated.  There are still folks out there that believe the world is flat.  It's truly mind boggling.

No one believes the world is flat.

Obviously, no one could continue such a belief under the barrage of proof we show them.  You have to be incredibly stupid (which means you would be a ward of the state) or you have to be lying.   The fact notaman knows how to use the internet and type basic death threats means he is not an absolute idiot.
